This study investigates the functional roles of quantal and non-quantal synaptic transmission from type I and II hair cells in mice, showing that non-quantal transmission can drive vestibular responses across a wide range of frequencies, while quantal transmission is essential for gravity detection.

The paper identifies five distinct fastigial nucleus cell types in mice and shows they mediate diverse motor and nonmotor functions through modular synaptic connections.
